Guo Yulin has been worrying about his lifelong affairs for the past two years, and he is almost growing gray hair. Every time he meets a suitable female comrade, he will take the initiative to ask if she has a partner.
But no matter how much she worries, what's the use if Chen Yanli himself doesn't care? In the end it was all in vain.
She was the chief surgeon of the Beijing Military Region General Hospital, and she almost became the matchmaker in this area. She knew every girl's age and her character very well.
She has dealt with many people in her life and met all kinds of people. Sometimes she can see through other people's thoughts at a glance. She thinks Zhou Yunwan is a good kid.
She is well-behaved, generous, polite but not timid, and does not look like a country girl who has never seen the world. She has a pair of bright and clear eyes and no bad intentions. The key is that her appearance also wins her heart. She is handsome and flamboyant, and she matches her son very well.
Shen Yanli’s eyelids drooped, and he uttered two words expressionlessly: “No.”
To dispel her thoughts, he continued: "She is still young."
Guo Yulin stared at him for a few seconds, trying to figure out something else from his words. "So you mean that if the age is right, you would be willing?"
Shen Yanli frowned at what she said: “That’s not what I meant.”
...
...
Guo Yulin advised earnestly: "As long as two people like each other, what does this age difference matter?"
Upon hearing this, the veins on Shen Yanli's forehead throbbed twice. Why are they talking about likes and dislikes again?
"I have no other thoughts about her. If I do, it's just my concern for the younger generation."
Seeing that he was getting impatient with her, Guo Yulin pursed his lips, but still didn't give up: "Really not going to consider it?"
Shen Yanli said nothing, but his helpless look already showed his meaning.
Guo Yulin sighed heavily, looking disappointed, and angrily said, "I won't talk about other families, just your elder brother. When he was your age, he already had a child, but you, at your age, don't even have a partner. You spend all day in that research institute. I'm curious, what kind of person do you like?"
Shen Yanli had heard similar words countless times. In order to prevent her from arranging a blind date for him without authorization, he clearly refused: "Mom, I've already said that I have no intention of getting married at the moment."
"You arranged a blind date for me, which is just a waste of time for other lesbians."
He was determined to devote himself to scientific research and contribute to the construction of the motherland. Not to mention getting married, he didn't even have the idea of having a partner. Romance was never in his life plan.
Hearing his resolute tone, Guo Yulin silently rolled his eyes in his heart, strongly disagreeing with his son's idea.
In her opinion, serving the motherland is one thing, solving personal life issues is another, and getting married and having children is to contribute to the population of the motherland.
However, she did not intend to provoke him any further, lest it backfire and make him resist getting married and having children.
"Okay, okay, you young people have your own ideas. Can't an old stubborn like me just ignore them?"
"This is Xiao Wan's first time in Beijing, and you are the person she is most familiar with. Please spend more time taking care of her, accompanying her, and helping her adapt to life here as quickly as possible. Is this not too much of a chore for you?"
No feelings? dislike? Then wouldn’t it be enough to just train more?
Shen Yanli saw her ulterior motives, and a trace of discomfort flashed across his stern face, but what she said made sense, and after thinking for a moment, he hummed softly, which was considered as an agreement.
At this moment, in the living room, Zhou Yunwan rested her hands on her knees, chatting with Shen Dewen. The two of them deliberately avoided the dangerous task and talked about light-hearted and joyful family matters.
She could see that the other party wanted to appear kind and amiable, but he had been in a high position for many years and was used to being dignified and cold. He was domineering just by sitting there. Unfortunately, he was not good at speaking, and after a few words, the atmosphere that she had worked so hard to warm up turned cold again.
Shen Dewen looked at Zhou Yunwan, who looked somewhat similar to Old Zhou, and felt a little uncomfortable. If Old Zhou and his wife had not had the accident, he would have been able to see his daughter grow up to be so beautiful.
Not long after, the mother and son who had gone in to whisper came out carrying the remaining dishes.
Several people sat down one by one. Shen Dewen, as the head of the family, naturally sat in the main seat. Guo Yulin sat on the left. Zhou Yunwan, as a guest, sat on the right. Shen Yanli sat next to her.
At the table, Guo Yulin had a loving look in his eyes and kept picking up dishes for Zhou Yunwan: "Xiao Wan, just treat this as your own home. Don't be too restrained. Come on, eat more."
"Thank you, Aunt Guo." The girl had fair skin and beautiful looks. When she smiled, her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her voice was soft and sweet, which made Guo Yulin, who wanted to have a daughter when he was young but did not get it, feel heartbroken.
So she picked up the food even more happily, until the bowl in front of Zhou Yunwan was full, and then she stopped regretfully.
While eating, Guo Yulin observed the girl's every move and found that even though she grew up in the countryside, her movements were not rude. Instead, they were decent and elegant, with the temperament and demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
I heard that she suffered a lot of bullying in the countryside, so her uncle's family certainly didn't take the trouble to educate her well, so it could only be that she has good qualities and is naturally beautiful.
Staring at the girl's pretty face, she liked her more and more, but the more she liked her, the more she couldn't stand her own son who didn't know what was good for him. She couldn't help but glare at Shen Yanli beside her and snorted softly from her nose.
What a good girl, but someone just can't seize the opportunity!
Brat, he will regret it later.
Shen Yanli raised his head as if he noticed something, and met Guo Yulin's disgusted eyes, and frowned for no apparent reason.
Not long after, the other party changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. He turned his head and put on a happy face, "Xiao Wan, don't just drink the soup, eat more meat. I stewed this old hen for more than three hours, and it's so soft."
As he spoke, Guo Yulin stood up and went to the kitchen, thinking of getting a few new bowls.
Zhou Yunwan looked down at her bulging belly. She had a small appetite and she really couldn't handle another bowl of meat.
She opened her mouth and wanted to speak her mind honestly, but then she thought, she had already refused once before, and it would be inappropriate to refuse again.
Her eyes turned, and under the dining table, she slowly moved her legs and kicked Shen Yanli.
First he was glared at, and now he was kicked. Shen Yanli had no words to express his bitterness, but when he ran into her misty and pitiful eyes, the only remaining trace of resentment immediately disappeared.
Some emotions were churning in Chen Yanli's eyes, but he retracted his gaze after just a glance, then picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip of water, trying to suppress the unknown heat.
Seeing that he didn't understand what she meant, Zhou Yunwan became a little anxious and kicked him again.
Shen Yanli's eyes darkened by two points. Her strength was not strong. She kicked him from time to time as if in a playful way. Their calves rubbed against each other through the fabric. The subtle touch was like an electric current, which instantly spread throughout his body and aroused waves of numbness.
A full glass of cold water was drunk.
The heat has not been suppressed yet.
Even hotter.
